The closures, announced Tuesday, include Lake LBJ from Lighthouse Drive to Wirtz Dam and Lake Marble Falls from the Highway 281 bridge to Starcke Dam.

The LCRA did not said the closure would remain in place until further notice. Additional rainfall in the Highland Lakes watershed could cause lake levels to rise quickly. Additional dam releases may be necessary with very little warning to move floodwaters downstream, the LCRA said.
